More “Black Sites” Please
Next Time, Use FedEx
by Ann Coulter
The CIA stepped up the search for Osama bin Laden last week after becoming as sick of royal wedding coverage as the rest of us.
American intelligence operations located Osama by following his trusted couriers, whose names were given up by al-Qaida members during harsh interrogations at CIA black sites under President Bush.
Yes, the same interrogations endlessly denounced by the entire Democratic Party (save Joe Lieberman), the mainstream media, and an especially indignant Jane Mayer in The New Yorker.
Zip It!
I don’t suppose the students who were with President Bush on that fateful day will be able to shut those morons up now? Naw….didn’t think so! I’ve always said that his behavior that morning was the RIGHT way to handle things. All those morons, even nearly 10 years later, that are constantly shouting “it’s for the chiiiiilllllruuunssss” don’t give a damn about those children! Or any other children for that matter.
Now, do me, and every other rational person a favor and….

Top Six Reasons We Got Osama bin Laden
The Foundry
Taking down Osama bin Laden was an achievement resulting from a culmination of a decade of national security policy. Soft power and diplomacy helped along the way, but it was hard power and military might that made it possible. President George W. Bush put the correct policies in place, including the PATRIOT Act, Gitmo and increased intelligence gathering. President Barack Obama was wise to continue executing many of the same strategies. Here are the main reasons we were able to take him out.
Justice
Was Bin Laden’s Killing Legal?
Claus Kress, an international law professor at the University of Cologne, argues that achieving retributive justice for crimes, difficult as that may be, is “not achieved through summary executions, but through a punishment that is meted out at the end of a trial.” Kress says the normal way of handling a man who is sought globally for commissioning murder would be to arrest him, put him on trial and ultimately convict him. In the context of international law, military force can be used in the arrest of a suspect, and this may entail gun fire or situations of self-defense that, in the end, leave no other possibility than to kill a highly dangerous and highly suspicious person. These developments can also lead to tragic and inevitable escalations of the justice process.
Well, professor, I don’t know what they do over there in the snotty, sanctimonious EU, but we Americans shoot mad dogs!
It is unfortunate. And it is certainly no reason for the indescribable jubilation that broke out on Sunday night across America — and especially not for applause inside the CIA’s operations center.
I don’t remember much condemnation when we saw muslims dancing in the street when the planes crashed into the Towers and collapsed. Where was the condemnation of the Pallies passing out sweets when the Fogel family was slaughtered. No, just the Americans are condemned when the pig that ordered the slaughter of innocent men, women and children, is brought to JUSTICE! And yes, it is justice. Although, as horrible as it may sound, it was TOO swift. He should have been made to suffer, the same way his actions have made so many thousands of others suffer, both non-muslim, AND muslim.
So, professor, take your European arrogance, and shove it where the sun don’t sun! Just because you are a bunch of pantywaist, limp wristed sycophants, does not mean we are!
For years, the very principle of international law has been to pursue justice rather than war. On Sunday, Obama said that bin Laden’s fate is a “testament to the greatness of our country.” If the United States had used the same power it deployed during the invasion of Iraq to force tyrants such as Saddam Hussein or Moammar Gadhafi — not to mention the mass murderer Osama bin Laden — into the dock of an international court, one might have believed him.
Screw your ‘international court’. This is the United States of America! We SHOOT rabid dogs!

Protesters against TN guns-on-campus bill get a win
“It very much scares me, as a faculty member, that the person in the office next door to me might be carrying a gun,” said Debbie Ingram, a professor of physical therapy at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and the mother of a University of Tennessee-Knoxville student.
Well ma’am, as a faculty member, which would you rather have? A fellow faculty member, armed and trained, or a crazed shooter, with NO ONE TO SAVE YOUR LIBTARD ASS?

A Heart Breaking Experience
This morning, I went to a funeral. I pray no one ever has to experience the pain that was so evident. Children are suppose to bury their parents, not the other way around. But it does happen, and we must learn to deal. We’ll never know why things turn out the way they do. It’s not for us to know. God’s ways are not our ways.
This was the first child’s funeral I have been to, and I hope I’ll never have to go to another. The number of people who were there is a testimony to just how much Brad and Brooke have affected the lives of so many. Two of the most precious people you’d ever want to meet…. kind, loving, giving their all to the Lord. I pray they will lean upon each other, and the many family and friends who love them, but especially, I pray they will lean upon our Savior, and turn to Him in their hour of need. There will be many in the coming days, weeks, months, and years.
May God bless the Marlar family.

Whose “View”?
I’ll be honest, I’ve only watched that show once, for a brief period of time, when someone with a brain was a guest. It was SO long ago, I can’t even remember who it was. From the snippets of video I’ve seen now and then, I have to ask….just who watches these overpaid, obnoxious females anyway? Ok, with the exception of Hasslebeck. She seems to be the only one of the show with any class, whatsoever. At one time, I had some respect for Walters, but that disappeared a long time ago. So please, who watches them? I’d really like to know. How have they stayed on the air? Has there ever been a more ill-informed bunch of cackling hens? It’s embarrassing. And to think, some moron at CNN actually gave Bayhar her own show? The woman sounds like a whining 4 year old, nonstop!
One thing Mzzzzzzzzzzz Walters seems to have forgotten… Obama did NOT set out to get the pig slime. He just continued what Bush had been doing. Credit needs to go to those who DID the job…not politicians! The Navy SEALS are the heroes, NOT Obama. And I’d say the same thing if Bush was in office. While this may have happened on his watch, it’s the ONLY thing that has been a positive. Where are the jobs? Why are people struggling to make ends meet? Why are there more people on food stamps than ever before in our history? Why has the price of gas DOUBLED, and set to go any higher? No, with all the negatives, as opposed to ONE positive, I think any CONSERVATIVE Republican candidate will be able to stand tall, and bring that sumbeech off his throne!
Never Again!

The Threat Still Remains
Bin Laden Dead

Justice has been done. Nearly 10 years since the 9/11 attacks that left more than 3,000 Americans dead, Osama bin Laden was killed by a small team of U.S. military personnel operating under the authority of the Central Intelligence Agency. We first want to congratulate the men and women of our military and intelligence communities, past and present, who worked tirelessly across three Administrations to bring ultimate justice to the man who killed so many. The war on terror, though, is not over.
Bin Laden’s death is the most significant victory in the war on terror since the 9/11 attacks, more important than the arrest of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in 2006. Bin Laden’s elimination vindicates U.S. strategy in the region, started under President George W. Bush, and it will be seen as a major success for the United States, showing the world that America will remain committed to hunting down its enemies as long it takes.
Deceit and Dhimmis
Asked how bin Laden’s body will be treated, a senior administration official told reporters on a conference call that “we are ensuring that is handled in accordance with Islamic practice and tradition.”
The official, who refused to be identified, said the matter is “something that we take very seriously, and so, therefore, this is being handled in an appropriate manner.”
First, we were told he was killed a week ago. Now, he was ‘buried’ within 24 hours, according to Islamic law? Who give a flying flip about Islamic law??? I know I sure as hell don’t! SOB’s body should have been put on display, hung upside down, set of fire, beheaded, and thrown into a pigsty! We were also told that DNA evidence confirmed it was him. Now we are told the results won’t be back for a few days?
He also took time in his statement to state that “our war is not against Islam.”
Islam declared war on us a long time ago, so if he actually believes we aren’t at war with them, he’s mighty mistaken. So was Bush!
“Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader. He was a mass murderer of Muslims,” Obama said. “Indeed, Al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own. So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.”
That’s what Muslims do! The murder anyone and everyone, muslim, non-muslim. It doesn’t matter! If you don’t comply with their barbaric practices, you are dead. Simple. They preach hatred in their dens of devil worship, and yet, we keep allowing them to spread in the U.S. to spawn more “home grown” terrorists. Just how blind do you have to be not to see?
I’m starting to have some serious doubts about this whole thing.
Added: If we aren’t at war with islam, why do they call him the “sheik of islam“?
